IMPROVEMENT IN IHE MANUFACTURE OF CONFECTIONERY.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 108,505, dated October 18, 1570.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, GEORGE MILLER and CHARLEs B. MILLER, of Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Packing Confectionery, and We do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description ofthe same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making a part of this specification, in which- Figure l is a perspective view, a portion of the wall and cover being removed. Fig. 2 is a crosssection.

The object of this invention is to provide for use a new and improved method and means of packing confectionery and small gift articles; andthe invention consists in the arrangement of the packing-box, its compartments, and the materials to be packed, as hereinafter set forth.

In the drawings, A A are abox and cover, the flanges of the latter being made wide enough to cover the whole side of the former, so that the cover completely incases the box, only the bottom of the latter being visible. In this box wepaek the materials as follows: First, i'or example, we place in the bottom of the box a layer oi' nuts or confectionery, a, upon which We place a removable pasteboard cover,e, having a little loop or tag at the center, by which it can easily be handled. We then place on this cover a set of jewelry or other attractive or valuable gift, g, and we place over this another cover, e', similar to the former. The space above this cover We iill full of confectionery, gaycolored candies, 850., so as entirely to conceal the cover c', and lead any person, on open ing the box, to suppose it illed merely with` candies. Ve place tissue-paper over the candies, one or more sheets, attached at the side edges to the walls of the box, or not, as may be thought desirable. neat handsome box of confections, &c.,'par ticularly suitable for a Christmas-gift box.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is.-'

l. The method of packing confectionery, Src., as herein describedand shown.

2. A boX of confectionery, jewelry, or other similar articles, arranged, as described, in layers, one over the other, and separated by intervening covers of pasteboard, as described.
